Master SKU & Source Inventory

Overview

Flxpoint empowers you to import your Master SKUs when importing inventory data into Flxpoint. Once imported, the Master SKU field can be used to build and merge your products.

What is Master SKU?

Within Flxpoint, the Master SKU is a unique, primary identifier. For more information on Master SKU, please see: Master SKU.


Mapping Master SKU From Your Source

To connect your Source Inventory data to the Product Catalog via Master SKU:

  • Map the desired value (SKU, UPC, MPN, or Barcode) to the Master SKU field in the Get Inventory Primary mapping template
  • Run the Get Inventory Primary integration
  • Now you'll see the Master SKU values in the Source Inventory.
  • To connect the Source Inventory to the Product Catalog, you must click Create Products to build and merge with your existing Product Catalog.
  • Be sure to select Master SKU as your matching identifier in the product builder. This will allow Flxpoint to find and merge matching products based on Master SKU.


Remapping Master SKU

To remap your Inventory SKU:

  • Navigate to Source Inventory
  • Click Actions
  • Select Remap Inventory SKUs
  • In the following pop-up
    • Select the desired source
    • Upload a valid CSV file that contains two columns, SKU and New SKU to update the Inventory SKUs
    • Once uploaded, click Import Inventory SKU Remapping to complete

Master SKU & Creating Products

Master SKU is available as a matching identifier to build and merge on when creating products.

This will merge any Source Inventory SKU with a Master SKU set to its corresponding Master SKU in the Product Catalog. Once this is complete, your Master SKU products are able to be fulfilled by its corresponding Inventory SKU Source.
